Fight to Win 157

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 37 recorded matchups at Fight to Win 157, only 38 percent ended by submission. Decisions carried the card with 22 wins, so if you were watching for finishes you spent most of the night waiting on the judges.
• ▸ When submissions did land, the armbar led the way with 3, followed by the toe hold, darce choke, and arm triangle choke at 2 each. A spread like that tells you the finishes came from a mix of positions rather than one dominant attack.
• ▸ The full submission tally at the event was 14, against 22 decisions and 1 split decision. That split decision is worth noting since a card of 37 matchups produced only one contest close enough to divide the judges.
• ▸ Vagner Rocha closed out his win over Gabriel Almeida with an inside heel hook, the only recorded instance of that submission on the card. It fit a night where leg attacks stayed rare even with a strong no-gi lineup.
• ▸ Chad Kodiak Fields took a decision over Tom DeBlass in the Super Heavyweight matchup, a bout with no submission where the bigger bodies went the distance rather than forcing a tap.
